Digital Manga Giant Emaqi Expands Library with Seven Diverse New Titles, Including Highly Anticipated *Sengoku Komachi Kurotan*

Digital manga platform emaqi, operated by Orange Inc., is set to significantly expand its content library in November 2025 with the addition of seven new licensed series. This strategic move reinforces emaqi’s commitment to providing a diverse and comprehensive collection of Japanese manga to its global readership. The newly acquired titles are the result of key partnerships established with major Japanese publishers, including Shinchosha, COAMIX, and Earth Star Entertainment, ensuring a wide array of genres and narratives.

Focus Title: Sengoku Komachi Kurotan

Headlining this content expansion is the historical seinen manga, Sengoku Komachi Kurotan. This series merges historical fiction with a knowledge-based power fantasy narrative. The story follows Shizuko Ayanokoji, a high school student specializing in agriculture and history, who is unexpectedly transported back in time to Japan's volatile Sengoku Period. Upon arrival, she is captured by the forces of the renowned warlord, Oda Nobunaga.

Instead of relying on combat, Shizuko utilizes her specialized agricultural knowledge to gain the attention and respect of the powerful daimyo. The manga adaptation is based on a self-published novel, featuring the collaborative work of Kyouchikutou (story), Hirasawa Geco (character design), and Hajime Sawada (artwork). emaqi staff have noted that the series is distinguished by its protagonist's reliance on intellect and decisive knowledge to navigate complex historical challenges, offering both engaging entertainment and educational value.

Additional November Series

The November slate also includes titles catering to various demographics and interests. For readers seeking romantic comedy and fantasy, Magic, Me and My Big Master!, created by Ui Ohno and published by COAMIX Inc., offers a lighthearted romantic escape infused with humor.

Isekai themes are prominently featured among the new acquisitions. The Strongest Baby Goes Wild!: Abandoned at Birth, but Living Easy Thanks to My Previous Life as a Great Sage, with a story by Shichio Kuzu, art by Marimo Enda, and character design by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima, presents a charming slice-of-life interpretation of the genre. Complementing this is Villager A Wants to Save the Villainess at All Costs: The Trench, the Sky, and the Ice Princess, written by Kotaro Isshiki, illustrated by Sankichi Meguro, and featuring character design by Parum, which delivers a heroic adventure narrative set in a fantastical alternate world.

Rounding out the expansion are series aimed at mature audiences. Alisha Doesn't Bend Her Mind is a compelling josei and coming-of-age story by Oto Kodera (writer) and Ai Nimoda (illustrator), focusing on detailed character development and romantic progression. The collection is completed by the contemporary and uniquely themed title, Delinquents Can't Cut Cake.

This substantial content boost in November solidifies emaqi's position as a leading global platform for high-quality Japanese manga, bringing its total library to over 13,000 officially licensed volumes.
